Whilo It is undoubtedly true that
many- building- operations are being

considerable basis for hope in the fact
that most of tlve- present saloon loca

to house other line of business. This
condition srehitectg and builders feel
will keep them busy for screral months

BY LIFE INSURANCE EDITOR.
-f-T has been said." declared United
I States Senator Oscar W. Vnder--wood,
of Alabama, "that the wise
man does not live in the past, for the
past cannot be mended; that he does
not live in the future, because the fu
ture is uncnartod land, but that he
lives in the present and makes most ot
the day and the hour he has with him.
"This is probably the best way for
men to get the best results from each
day they live, both so far as their pro
ductive capacity -and their happiness
is concerned, but we cannot forget the
future entirely.
"Every day we march on to old age
and incapacity. Every day we face
the dangers and accidents of life. Every
day we approach nearer the hour when
our mentality will lose the keenness of
its edge and our physical forces will
begin to fail. The wise man, therefore,
who lives in the hour that is with him
will have some tliought of the future
and store up a suiplus lor the days to
come.
"Theres are many ways in which a
man can conserve his surplus energies
for future use. The product of his
toil may be buried, in the ground by
the miser, invested in land by the
farmer or in stocks and bonds by the
business man, but to make a good in
vestment requires accurate informa
tion and good business Judgment. These
qualities are not possesssed by all.
"For the average man a life insur

safe, practical way to store up his sur

October Busier Than Any Pre
vious Month of Year.
52 CITIES SHOW INCREASE
Influence Practically Offsets Jle
verses of First Seven .Months of
Year, Says American Con
tractor, of C'liicfigo.
Building operations for October make
decidedly the best showing for the year
to date. Oflicial reports received by
the American Contractor, Chicago, from
7;i cities show building permits issued
tor the month to amount to I62.93S.777.
as compared with $44,227,293 for Octo
ber last year, an increase of 42 per
cent.
There was a gain of .12 per cent in
September and one of 11 per cent in
August, the tomparalive reports for
months earlier in the year all showing
losses as compared with 191 1.
The increase last month was so large
that it seems to mark a full return
to the normal amount of construction
work. Tho improvement is general
throughout the country, 52 of the 73
cities showing gains.
Among the cities making the more
rotable increases are the following, to
gether with the percentage of their
ains:
Akron. 299; Albany. 19.".; Baltimore.

The influence of the splendid show

a now. postofCics. .building, at laclip.
plus energies for tha' protection of his
old age and the bciactit of his family
after he is gone."
While Senator Underwood's state
ment doubtless convoys tho meaning
that life insurance is one of the many
forms of storing up for old age. it was
probably not intentionaj that he sep
arated it from all other Crorms of thrift.
Life insurance is an auxiliary force
necessary to every line of human en
deavor. It is a. preventive of failure,
jus-t as inoculatio.i with a. certain se
rum prevents typhoid fever.
A score of farm mortgagees are fore
closed evety day in this country, due
to the fact that heirs are unable to
meet the necessary payments. Suffi
cient life insurance, enough to cover
the amount of the mortgages, would
have saved these properties.
Worthless estates are probated every
day. Families accustomed to plenty are
thrown out into the world petiniles.i,
because they are unable to meet tho
liabilities :igainst their inheritance.
And in some cases the margin is in
finitely sre.all.
If the business men of this country
who are in debt today knew that it re
quired only a small annual deposit of
1, 2, 3 or 4 per cent of their total in
debtedness to wipe, out this amount as
a liability, :here would be more of
them adopting t'ais plan and there
would bo less economic personal and
National waste. Vet. that is all thst
is necessary for a man to cover his
debts by the term, ordinary. 20-pay
life and 20-year endowment contracts,
respectively.
has been awarded to Harry Whetzcl.
of this city, who left yesterday to start

stroyed in the recent lire.
